CHAPTER 37
God’s Works and Wisdom
1 “At this also my heart trembles,
​​And leaps from its place.
2 ​​Hear attentively the thunder of His voice,
​​And the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3 ​​He sends it forth under the whole heaven,
​​His lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 ​​After it a voice roars;
​​He thunders with His majestic voice,
​​And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.
5 ​​God thunders marvelously with His voice;
​​He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 ​​For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
​​Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.
7 ​​He seals the hand of every man,
​​That all men may know His work.
8 ​​The beasts go into dens,
​​And remain in their lairs.
9 ​​From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind,
​​And cold from the scattering winds of the north.
10 ​​By the breath of God ice is given,
​​And the broad waters are frozen.
11 ​​Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
​​He scatters His bright clouds.
12 ​​And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
​​That they may do whatever He commands them
​​On the face of the whole earth.[fn]
13 ​​He causes it to come,
​​Whether for correction,
​​Or for His land,
​​Or for mercy.
​
14 ​​“Listen to this, O Job;
​​Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 ​​Do you know when God dispatches them,
​​And causes the light of His cloud to shine?
16 ​​Do you know how the clouds are balanced,
​​Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 ​​Why are your garments hot,
​​When He quiets the earth by the south wind?
18 ​​With Him, have you spread out the skies,
​​Strong as a cast metal mirror?
​
19 ​​“Teach us what we should say to Him,
​​For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness.
20 ​​Should He be told that I wish to speak?
​​If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.
21 ​​Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies,
​​When the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 ​​He comes from the north as golden splendor;
​​With God is awesome majesty.
23 ​​As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him;
​​He is excellent in power,
​​In judgment and abundant justice;
​​He does not oppress.
24 ​​Therefore men fear Him;
​​He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart.”
